The homeowner told Tampa Fire the incident was caused by the hoverboard's battery bursting into flames and igniting some of the nearby items.

The residents were able to safely leave the house but told crews on scene that their pet sugar glider was in an upstairs bedroom in its cage. Crews were able to rescue the sugar glider from the smoke-filled home.

No one was hurt from the fire, according to Tampa fire.
